Joshua 5
1 All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the [Mediterranean] Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan [River] until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.
At nangyari, nang mabalitaan ng lahat ng mga hari ng mga Amorrheo na nasa dako roon ng Jordan sa dakong kalunuran, at ng lahat ng mga hari ng mga Cananeo, na nangasa tabi ng dagat, kung paanong tinuyo ng Panginoon ang tubig ng Jordan sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel, hanggang sa kami ay nangakatawid, na nanglumo ang kanilang puso, at sila'y nawalan ng loob dahil sa mga anak ni Israel.
2 While [they were camped at Gilgal], Yahweh said to Joshua, “[The Israeli males who lived in Egypt were circumcised before they left there. Now] make knives from flint stones and circumcise all the Israeli males [who have been born since then].”
Nang panahong yaon ay sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Gumawa ka ng mga sundang na pinkiang bato at tuliin mo uli na ikalawa ang mga anak ni Israel.
3 So Joshua [made knives and] circumcised the Israeli males at a place that is now called ‘Circumcision Hill’.
At gumawa si Josue ng mga sundang na pinkiang bato, at tinuli ang mga anak ni Israel sa burol ng mga balat ng masama.
4 [The reason they did that is that all the men who left Egypt], those who were old enough to be soldiers, died in the desert after they left Egypt.
At ito ang dahil na itinuli ni Josue: ang buong bayan na lumabas mula sa Egipto, na mga lalake, lahat na lalaking pangdigma, ay namatay sa ilang sa daan, pagkatapos na sila'y makalabas na mula sa Egipto.
5 They had been circumcised in Egypt, but the baby boys who had been born while their parents were camping in the desert after they left Egypt had not been circumcised.
Sapagka't ang buong bayan na lumabas ay mga tuli; nguni't ang buong bayan na ipinanganak sa ilang sa daan pagkalabas sa Egipto, ay hindi tuli.
6 Our Israeli ancestors traveled around in the desert for 40 years, and all the men who were old enough to be soldiers had died. [The women had also died]. They had not obeyed Yahweh, so Yahweh said that they would not arrive at the land that he had promised to our ancestors that he would give to us, a land that was very fertile [MTY].
Sapagka't ang mga anak ni Israel ay lumakad na apat na pung taon sa ilang, hanggang sa ang buong bansa, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga lalaking pangdigma na lumabas mula sa Egipto, ay nalipol, sapagka't hindi nila dininig ang tinig ng Panginoon: na siyang sinumpaan ng Panginoon na hindi niya ipakikita sa kanila ang lupain na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa kanilang mga magulang na ibibigay sa atin, na lupaing binubukalan ng gatas at pulot.
7 The sons of those who had disobeyed Yahweh were the ones whom Joshua circumcised at Gilgal. They were circumcised because they had not been circumcised [while they were traveling in the desert].
At ang kanilang mga anak na kaniyang ibinangong kahalili nila, ay pinagtuli ni Josue, sapagka't mga hindi tuli, sapagka't hindi nila tinuli sila sa daan.
8 After all the Israeli males had been circumcised, they remained in the camp and rested until their wounds were healed.
At nangyari nang kanilang matuli ang buong bansa, na tumahan sila sa kanilang mga dako sa kampamento hanggang sa sila'y magsigaling.
9 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Because your forefathers were slaves in Egypt], the Egyptians felt a revulsion toward you. But today I have removed the revulsion the Egyptians have had toward you.” Because of that, the people called the place ‘Gilgal’, [which sounds like the Hebrew word ‘removed’, ] and it still has that name.
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Sa araw na ito ay inalis ko sa inyo ang pagdusta ng Egipto. Kaya't ang pangalan ng dakong yaon ay tinawag na Gilgal hanggang sa araw na ito.
10 In the evening of the fourteenth day of that month, while the Israeli people were camped at Gilgal, on the plain near Jericho [city], they celebrated the Passover [Festival].
At ang mga anak ni Israel ay humantong sa Gilgal; at kanilang ipinagdiwang ang paskua nang ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan sa kinahapunan sa mga kapatagan ng Jerico.
11 The next day, they found some barley grain in the fields in that area. So they took that and roasted it and ate it with bread that was made without yeast.
At sila'y kumain ng imbak na trigo ng lupain sa kinabukasan pagkatapos ng paskua, ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura, at ng sinangag na trigo, sa araw ding yaon.
12 The next day, [God] stopped [sending] manna for the Israeli people to eat. After that, they ate food that was grown in Canaan.
At ang mana ay naglikat nang kinabukasan, pagkatapos na sila'y makakain ng imbak na trigo ng lupain; at hindi naman nagkaroon pa ng mana ang mga anak ni Israel; kundi sila'y kumain ng bunga ng lupain ng Canaan ng taong yaon.
13 One day when Joshua came near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked him, “Are you [going to fight] for us or against us?”
At nangyari, nang si Josue ay malapit sa Jerico, na kaniyang itiningin ang kaniyang mga mata at tumingin, at, narito, nakatayo ang isang lalake sa tapat niya na may kaniyang tabak sa kaniyang kamay na bunot: at si Josue ay naparoon sa kaniya, at sinabi sa kaniya, Ikaw ba'y sa amin, o sa aming mga kaaway?
14 The man replied, “I am not [planning to fight with you] or [against you]. Instead, I am the commander of Yahweh’s army [in heaven], and I have come [down from there to assure you that Yahweh will help you].” Then Joshua bowed down with his face on the ground (to show his respect for/to worship) the man, and said to him, “Tell me what [you want me to do].”
At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi; kundi ako'y naparito ng parang prinsipe ng hukbo ng Panginoon. At si Josue ay nagpatirapa sa lupa at sumamba, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Anong sabi ng aking panginoon sa kaniyang lingkod?
15 The commander of Yahweh’s army replied, “Take off your sandals! [I am Yahweh, and] the ground on which you are standing is holy because I am here.” So Joshua took off his sandals.
At sinabi ng prinsipe ng hukbo ng Panginoon kay Josue, Hubarin mo ang iyong panyapak sa iyong paa; sapagka't ang dakong iyong kinatatayuan ay banal. At ginawang gayon ni Josue.
